-- Australian Open: Meet Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the unseeded Frenchman who is playing for the men's singles title at the year's first major. Mr. Tsonga, who exploded into the championship match with a straight- sets drubbing of No. 2-ranked Rafael Nadal, faces No. 3 Novak Djokovic, who upset No. 1 Roger Federer in the semis.

-- Indiana at Wisconsin: The last two Big Ten teams undefeated in conference play -- at least entering the weekend -- finally meet. Indiana, ranked seventh nationally, is savoring the production of Indianapolis native Eric Gordon, a freshman point guard who will likely go pro after the season. No. 11 Wisconsin, which has the conference's best defense, will test Mr. Gordon's ability to lead the offense.
